It was really bad when I was riding home yesterday. I left the office about 15 -20 minutes later than I had on Monday, and it was astonishing how different the ambient light situation was, so I was not surprised how many ninja types I passed.

Also last night, I was riding through Georgetown to the CCT and I had stopped at a stop sign (as the law requires, though I will admit I don't always stop if there's no one waiting), and there was a car oncoming waiting to turn left (She pretty clearly had right of way -- she was already stopped at the all way stop, right?). Another cyclist decide to blow through the stop sign completely - he wasn't running lights, reflective gear or anything, so I'm not entirely sure why he thought she'd be able to see him in the first place, and she surely had right of way. It was pretty boneheaded. I gave what I hope was a good-natured chastisement ("Hey man, she had right of way, you know?" he just said "Thanks." and we went on our way).

This morning was a bit warmer than I was expecting, evidently, so I was just a touch warm. Not sure what change would have been 'right' as I was dressed the same way yesterday, and it worked just fine. I really need to do laundry, as my light weight, full fingered gloves are waiting to be washed. I made good time, though, despite heavy car traffic on Chain Bridge Road. I also loafed on the towpath/CCT, never getting much over 18 MPH.
